The Docking sequence took a lot of time in planning anf drawing and figuring out how to move the ramp in after effects and every inch of the docking station needed to be rigged and timings match so the each piece, locks into place.
I first started by drawing the docking station on adobe illustrator and then took it to photoshop to add texture and lighting
Below is a timelapse of all the effects that were applied on to the scene to make it come to life. As you can see matching each limb was a hassle as some parts were rotating, some were sliding or skidding. I added some smoke in between the parts to give it a more realistic feel and things are shaping up quite nicely.
